DOCTOR STRANGE 2 Honest Trailer Wonders If Marvel Knows What To Do With The X-MEN And FANTASTIC FOUR

@KWilly - Black Bold DID look amazing in DSMOM though, makes me hold out hope we'll see a proper adaptation of Paul Jenkins and Jae Lee's Inhumans maxi-series.

@VictorAlonzo - It is for that very reason that I absolutely loved that scene as is still one of my favorites (outside of Peggy Carter's death stare... I laughed out loud at that because it just was not intimidating at all). It was another universe and a great homage to just see a glimpse of them on screen, and then blow them away. But what I really took away from that particular scene was that it was great to finally see just how powerful Scarlet Witch is. Can you think of a better way? I thought that was something completely different and unexpected. But at the same time, I also felt it was completely safe only because they had the multiverse "out" if you will. There will be no ramifications from it. So, relax and enjoy it for what it was.

@AgentSmith - Those are good points. Perhaps if they put up more of a fight, it would've been a satisfying outcome. It just felt wrong for me.

@CorndogBurglar - Because they can't control what happens in these films, and when their "ideas" aren't met, they behave in what some would call an "immature" fashion by complaining because they didn't get what they wanted (and were NOT owed).

Regarding the word, "immature", I looked it up (and the word "mature"), and while I am not sure if it is being used properly in the initial statement, the above referenced behavior is certainly NOT "mature". I am not knocking those who do this (I have done it), and while this attitude/behavior may not be "immature", it is, again, certainly NOT a "mature" one.

I hope I explained that well enough.

@CorndogBurglar - Because it’s not something that he agrees with.

@CorndogBurglar - Yea, I'd say you're mistaking "disliking" a creative decision with what I'm referring to, which is the inability to even recognize the merit of a creative decision based on some personally developed criteria for what decisions are "acceptable" for a comic book adaptation.

Case in point, we all love the rampaging misunderstood Hulk, and can even enjoy the domesticated, team member Hulk who is still prone to rage. There's nothing wrong with preferring that to Hulk being largely sidelined as a scientist, especially if you just don't enjoy him being a sidelined scientist. But what's pretty immature is the idea that it is somehow offensive and disrespectful to the character of the Hulk for him to be a largely passive scientist "because he's a badass in the comics", not only because anyone who knows anything about Bruce Banner in the MCU knows how much he hates being the Hulk and can clearly see why the Professor Hulk persona is a perfectly logical narrative conclusion for his character, but also because Professor Hulk is derived from the comics. It's literally a direct adaptation of what Hulk/Banner developed into in the comics.

Same thing with the Illuminati. It totally was unexpected for the first time we see Professor X and Reed Richards in the MCU to be a film where they're all killed fairly quickly, but anyone who understands basic storytelling and a multiverse knows that sometimes stories feature parts that are unexpected. That's how great storytelling often works. And because this is a multiverse movie, we're all supposed to be mature enough to understand that the entire concept is predicated on those characters being different from "our" versions of the characters. And yet, you have people claiming it's "disrespectful" or "lessening the characters" for them to die unceremoniously, as if the people watching the movie have no concept of the above, or the fact that this is not a movie about those characters (not to mention, it's just a clever way to through the audience for a twist by playing on their expectations of what *should* be expected when Reed Richards and Professor X first show up). I don't even consider 'Immature" to be too much of an insult when I say it here, as I'm really just referring to the fact that large portions of the audience of these Marvel movies approach these movies with a narrow minded and often entitled view of what *should* happen in a Marvel movie, and have a strong emotional reaction to these stories not matching up with the expectations they themselves crafted for the movies. Many people watch Marvel movies with a mental checklist, not to experience the unique marriage between a movie studio, a massive budget, a director, a writer, the performers and the comic books that they are loosely adhering to.

If anything I'm just highlighting how sad that limitation is, not complaining that people find themselves in the predicament of having said limitations
